Oh my....I can't believe that it has been 4 years since my grandfather ended his journey here and is now celebrating in heaven.
At first, I was a little sad, but I knew when he died that he was with Jesus. I think about my grandfather ALOT, but one thing that helped me to realize that I wasn't going to see him until I got to heaven, I wrote this poem, which I am going to share.

Up There [Keeping an Eye of Each of Us]
We all went on our busiess,
As usual, in the early daylight hours
Of Thursday morning.
You were already
Up There.
Up there celebrating,
Up There keeping an eye on
Each of us.
As the dawn turned
Into morning and
Morning turned into
Late afternoon,
The wildfire of your
Passing, spread through
Each of us.
But you Oliver,
That we all called Dean,
Was already up there,
Up There, celebrating,
And keeping an eye on
Each of us.
You watched from above,
As some said good-bye
From room
Numbered 55.
You watched as we
Comforted your wife
As she didn't want to leave your side.
You watched as we made th calls,
Made the appointments.
All this time,
You were celebrating,
You were celebrating th life that ou lead,
The life that you gave up to help others,
No matter the cost.
You raised three children,
Two gentlemen and a lady,
Made it to fifty and a half years in marriage.
You saw your grandkids grow.
You are already up there,
Up there celebrating,
Up there keeping an eye on
Each of us.
I thought I'd share this with all of you.
God Bless
